FYI
How to select the proper windlass
Step One:
Add-up the weight of your ground tackle, this includes the anchor, chain and rode
being used. Multiply this number by 3. This represents the maximum load rating
you would require. i.e. Ground tackle consisting of, 20 lb. anchor, 100 ft. of 1/4"
chain, 200 ft. of 1/2" 3-strand nylon. 20 lb. + 75 lb. + 14 lb. = 109 lb. x 3 = 327 lb.
Load. Therefore a 500 Series windlass would be adequate.
Step Two:
Identify what type of installation options you have. Freedom and VWC windlasses
take-up the least deck space and are the most tolerant of mounting location.
HWC windlasses are particularly good for mounting on extra thick decks or when
operating two anchors with one winch. HWC and VWC windlasses are best for all-
chain applications and Freedom windlasses are used for rope-chain combinations.
